How much do SAT Subject tests affect admissions?

Applying to College
1

<p>Most schools I'm applying to require SAT Subject tests : 1 math and 1 science.</p>

<p>I've scored incredibly low on my SAT Biology test (below 600's). It was the only science I could take because my school never offered Physics so there's no point in taking the Physics Subject test and my schedule worked out to where I've had to take Chemistry 1 this semester of my senior year so I did not feel that one semester of Chemistry would have prepared me for the Chem Subject Test. I took 1 semester Biology in 10th grade and had to try to learn everything over again by myself. </p>

<p>I have a decent math subject test score in math 1 and 2. Also, my ACT score is decent as well.</p>

<p>Will schools reject me because of my low Biology score?</p>

<p>Also, I plan to major in Computer Science, where my knowledge in Biology would not matter.</p>

<p>This just depends if the other aspects of your application are sufficiently strong enough for the schools to overlook your low biology score. </p>

<p>What schools are we talking about here and what are your actual scores on the SAT and both subject tests? What science class did you take in 11th grade?</p>
